““This is the only period in all human history when people were proud of being modern. For though to-day is always to-day and the moment is always modern, we are the only men in all history who fell back upon bragging about the mere fact that to-day is not yesterday. I fear that some in the future will explain it by saying that we had precious little else to brag about. For, whatever the medieval faults, they went with one merit. Medieval people never worried about being medieval; and modern people do worry horribly about being modern.””
![“sometime around the turn of the seventeenth century there began what is often called the modern period, or modernity.[1] It lasted, roughly, until sometime in the late twentieth century.” quote by Heath White](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b2b/heath-white-21156_quote_sometime-around-the-turn-of-the-seventee_3097955.jpg)
